Primary channel

Set up dedicated communication channel for multisig operations:

• Platform: Signal recommended (end-to-end encryption)
• Membership: Multisig signers + authorized management only
• Configuration: Notifications enabled, disappearing messages for sensitive discussions
• Naming: Clear channel naming convention (e.g., "X-Treasury-Multisig")

Backup channels

Configure backup communication on different platform:

• Platform: Different from primary (if Signal primary, use Telegram/Discord/Slack)
• Same membership restrictions as primary
• Document access procedures for all signers

Paging system (Critical/Emergency Multisigs)

For multisigs requiring rapid response:

• Configure alerts that can reach signers 24/7
• Include essential info in page: multisig name, urgency level, primary action needed
• Link to emergency runbooks in notification message
• Test quarterly to ensure reliability
